Each plant listing includes: (a) Name: genus, species and common names, date of discovery, and range; (b) Description: detailed and concise in the scientific style; (c) Key Recognition Features; (d) Ecology & Geography; & (e) Comment: cultivation needs plus notes about unusual hybrids or developments in the genus. As a pair, the 2 vols. are an all-inclusive source of information & photographs of more than 2,000 genera of temperate plants. Thorough introductory text encompasses numerous themes in botany, from the history of plant development to current DNA studies that are revolutionizing plant classification. Ea. volume includes a detailed index and bibliography. "The Botanical Garden" Volumes I and II are exciting additions to a gardening bookshelf. They are visually rich & highly accurate references that will remain interesting, useful & current for many years. Offering a discerning insight into the relationship between garden plants & their natural environments & accuracy that is unequaled outside scientific circles, this duo are truly the modern heirs to a long history of botanical references. There are simply no other works of this kind available today. * For FURTHER DETAILS about ea. volume, please see the individual listings: Volume I: Trees and Shrubs (Mnemosyne No. 9813) & Volume II: Perennials and Annuals: The Definitive Reference (Mnemosyne No. 9814) * ABOUT THE AUTHORS: ROGER PHILLIPS was trained as a painter at Chelsea School of Art.
